email client hooking
 

Hi all,

Does any body has any idea how to hook email client in Linux.

Let me explain my purpose...

Actually I want to check the contents of received email if that content is valid then only I want to allow the email client to display the content to user. Otherwise the content will be discarded. For that reason I need to hook the email client or devise some other generic method.

And for that I want to write C code.

Plz help me if any body has any idea.

This is a function best performed on a mail server. The mechanics of it are probably similar or identical to spam filtering.

Can you accomplish your goal by using email filters such as those in mozilla? What kind of criteria will you be using to qualify incoming messages?
